I feel like it'll be best just as a wrap assassin reskin. That's just my take.

+ Alt-fire: Launch a bobber that pulls enemies towards you, like a reverse Shortstop shove
+ This weapon holsters 50% faster
- 50% damage penalty
- This weapon deploys 33% slower

Reel 'em in for a meatshot!

+ +35% increase in recharge rate
+ Alt-Fire: Launches a bobber that pulls enemies towards you causing bleed from the hook
- -75% damage penalty
- This weapon deploys 44% slower
- NO RANDOM CRITICAL HITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caught a monster fish!

-65 dmg penalty on melee attack
25% slower deploy speed
25% faster holster speed
Alt-fire launches bobber/hook that if attached to enemy in your line of site (using same logic as medigun beam), you can reel in by hitting alt-fire again. Pulling strength determined by distance from target. The closer you are, the faster/farther the target is pulled towards you. The hook itself should only deal about 15 damage.

This essentially is a meatshot arrangement device. It deploys slower, but holsters faster, allowing you to quickly switch to your primary once you've reeled someone in and give them a facefull of pellets.

Optional stat: while performing the pull, you lose 33% movement speed for its duration, which should be the approximate length of the shortstop shove. Grunting voicelines for the shove should also be reused for the fishing rod pull motion.

Alternative stat: The closer you are, the less you pull in. Hitting a moonshot and reeling someone in from far away moves them very quickly towards you (think hitting a sniper on 2fort from the opposite battlements and almost yoinking them into the water)

No way who wants reskins, im looking FOR LEGIT WEAPONS for tf2 not dumb taunts or unusual effects but WEAPONS THAT CHANGE HOW OU PLAY THE GAME because thats what tf2 really needs

I feel like Valve isn't interested in weapons, whether reskin or not. And if Valve does put this in the game, they wouldn't want to balance it.
But I understand why you want it as a brand-new weapon with actual stats. I am sure everyone does, but looking logical, it'll likely just be a reskin.

this weapon could pull enemys towards you or this could be a fishing gamemode!

This is actually really good, the damage penalty makes sense after all you are more for the combo utility like it is with the Wrap Assassin. The mechanic of bringing enemies towards you not only allows it to be a great utility for starting fights with enemies further away allowing you to do meatshots faster and safely (after all it can be used to take your opponent away from his teamates), It can also be used to mess up enemy team positioning (as you mentioned the ability to take snipers out of enemy battlements on 2fort).

The 25% slower deploy speed allows opponents to prepare for your attack or escape more easily, which makes this mechanic more balanced. And the 25% faster holster speed rewards those who can use this weapon correctly.

I believe that its stats are the best for this weapon, bringing great utility while also being balanced.

Come to think of it, a hook weapon would sound nice. Hook abilities are fun. I am far less ardent about giving a form of cc that's traditionally strong in the games that feature it to a class like the scout.

no stats, i want this to be a reskin of the [wrap assasin] because it's ass

idk but the ball always returns by itself or smt

Concept: A weapon designed to grab enemies at range and bring them towards you.

Pros:
On Alt-Fire Hit: hooks on to target. Hooked target has 90% reduced movement speed when moving away from you. Alt-Fire again with hooked target to reel them in, launching them towards you.

Cons:
Projectile must stay in line of sight.
Projectile has a fixed short range.
90% movement speed penalty when hooking an enemy.
Switching weapon will unhook your target.

Super cool hope this gets added

PROS
Right click throws hook and bobber, grappling enemy to you
always minicrits wet players



CONS
30% damage decrease
No random critical hits
